Look at Me Now

Mr. Criminal * Track #2 On Sounds of Crime

Look at Me Now Lyrics

[Intro]
This track goes out to any one who has a dream
Mr. criminal had a dream
But it seem like no matter what something would always get in the way
You really want something in life you work hard to get it you know
No matter what any one would say, you overcome you're obstacles
Consistency breeds success
Blood, sweat & tears... look at me now

[Verse 1]
It was all a dream I used to read lowrider magazines
Lighter shade and cypress hill up on the tv screen
Hanging posters on my wall
I never used to rap til I got trapped in isolation juvenile hall
Right their up in my cell I felt this gift that was givin'
Determine to make away from nothing
Keep myself out of prison
So that's what I did
I started writing down my feelings on paper
About the way that I live
Growing up in the varrio
The things that I seen
All the gangsters, killers, prostitutes, dope dealers and fiends
All the robberies in progress 2-11's and 187's
Homies passing away
Taking trips up to heaven
So dear lord, if you hear me please bless me tonight
I know I'm wrong but don't let the cops arrest me tonight recorded demos on karaoke machines
No education no degree but still I follow my dreams

[Chorus]
Look at me now
And I know the haters hate it
Oh shit criminal made it
And they just can't fake it
Look at me now
Life's had it's ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
But still I represent for the brown
Look at me now
I roll low but I seem to get through
If they only knew, all the shit I've been through
Look at me now
Coming up and as hard as it seems
All I did was stay dedicated and follow my dreams

[Verse 2]
2001 I was court free cases dismissed
No probation no parole, I served my debt to the pricks
Now the only thing that's on my mind was stacking my grip
Keep riding dropping flows
And I'll be coming up quick
So trip the homie chava started coming around
Bumping the brown royal comp. from odm from the brown
And he told told me one of the tracks about some vato he knew
He used to party all around and kick up dust with him too
So I figured shit that's my opportunity there
Next time you hear he's coming around
Just hit me up and I'm their
You gotta open up the door on opportunity knocks
Inked a deal with hi power
Started my rhymes from the top
In the studio writing lyrics dropping tracks round the clock
Ten months later my shit was in the shops bumping on blocks
In other words, my dreams started to come true
And my lyrics were fueled by all the things I've been through

[Chorus]
Look at me now
And I know the haters hate it
Oh shit criminal made it
And they just can't fake it
Look at me now
Life's had it's ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
But still I represent for the brown
Look at me now
I roll low but I seem to get through
If they only knew, all the shit I've been through
Look at me now
Coming up and as hard as it seems
All I did was stay dedicated and follow my dreams

[Verse 3]
Now all my hi-power soldiers
Doing shows 'round the globe
Collecting checks and making money off the lyrics I wrote
Stories I told, drama that I had to unfold
Now satisfied with my beats so I started making my own, shit my attitude I want it all or it's nothing
I laced the kick, clap, bass leased never percussion
Because I'm coming up in anyway that I can
Doing shows in Cali, Texas, Denver, Portland, Japan
On stage with the crowd going crazy
People screaming got em waving their hands side 2 side
And I mean it when I say in one day I'm gonna take it to the top
And when it gets all eyes on me
Its my destiny to drop
As long as mr criminal's on it
It can never be a flop
I keep my estilo on point
Fuck the remedy you got
I'm just trying to be successful
Let these lyrics be heard
Represent it for my raza
Homie watch and observe

[Chorus]
Look at me now
And I know the haters hate it
Oh shit criminal made it
And they just can't fake it
Look at me now
Life's had it's ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
But still I represent for the brown
Look at me now
I roll low but I seem to get through
If they only knew, all the shit I've been through
Look at me now
Coming up and as hard as it seems
All I did was stay dedicated and follow my dreams
